DIPLOMA IN RADIATION TECHNOLOGY - DRT10
Eligibility
:
10th
Programme Duration
:
3 Years
Programme Objectives
:
Radiography is the art and science of producing medical
images using x-radiation. Technologists produce images for
the radiologist's interpretation to aid in medical diagnoses.
The program prepares you, under the direction of a medical
specialist (radiologist), to work in the hospital medical
imaging department, at the patient’s bedside, in the operating
room or Emergency or in private imaging clinics. Our
Diploma program in Radiography Technology has been
designed to integrate the academic environment with the
clinical setting. We are one of the few premium institutes in
India to offer this program.
Job Prospects
:
Upon successful completion of the Diploma you can explore
a career as a radiologist technician. You will find ample
opportunities in Hospitals, Clinics and Doctors’ offices.
You may further pursue a bachelor’s degree to continue your
education and specialize. Common job profiles of students
after completing DRT include: Technician in Hospitals,
Nursing Homes and Diagnostic Labs
